 💯 
 How do you feel about abolishing the electoral college and electing the president by popular vote?

 Holding Bitcoin is a way of voting. 
 🎯🎯 
 Democracy is scam 
 Dollars will always vote as long as there are politicians / regulators to be captured. Why this isn’t understood by everyone is beyond me. 
 And what did you do at Twitter to prevent the collision between gov't and big business? 
 Nobody should. 
 Sats should vote by being spend somewhere where you’re respected as a human being. 
 Ok, I’ve got it now.  Christoph Büchel’s exhibition in Venice. 
 Hahahahaha 
 Shouldn’t but does🙁 
 Why not?

It's less arbitrary and more transparent than how things are now. 
 Dollars shouldn’t as they can be printed. Real money like #Bitcoin should.
As there are good reasons for the electoral college in the US, why wouldn’t a person who is adding value to society not have more stake in deciding its faith than someone who doesn’t? 
In essence I am wondering: How can democracies avoid getting captured by parasites who bribe a relatively unproductive majority, with the stolen resources from a highly productive minority, to get and stay in power to enrich themselves until all value has been extracted? 
The answer to this question could prevent a lot of suffering and pain… 
 Citizens united  
 Money is actually the most important vote and for the first time ever there is more than one candidate. 

I choose #bitcoin
